How does programs and smart watering coexist

Panda88
Updated at 2025-05-15 18:20:45 UTC 

Hi 

I have some basic programs to water.  At the same time smartwater is enabled on zones?  

It seems the programs run - but smart water does not control the duration 

Is there a way to specify when watering evens should start but let the smart water control duration?

Zones not turning on

Neil ONeill
Updated at 2025-05-09 12:41:28 UTC 
Any reason why the system sometimes skip zones and not water them. I have 3 sensors and they all reading the same moisture across all 9 zones, that’s why I’m confuse into why sometimes decide to skip zones.

One zone comes regardless of the schedule whenever any other zone is on.

My #1 zone comes on whenever any other zone is on.  There has been no changes since last season other than a new wifi gateway.  I have deleted the Netro app and still have the same problems.  I have checked wiring to the controller and it is exactly the same as last season.  No shorting.  Does anyone have another suggestion to try and solve this issue?

Can you water a zone longer than 60 minutes?

I am limited in GPM, and in some areas of my lawn, I would like to water for more than 1 hour at a time for deep soaking. I cannot find a way without using multiple programs to the same zone. It is pretty labor intensive.

Watering notifications in Android app

Kai Nicholson
Updated at 2025-05-04 14:12:08 UTC 

I have the Netro Whisperer2, and all works fine except for smart watering notifications.

They alert within the Netro app - how can I get them to alert outside of the app (i.e. "normal" smartphone alerts)?


It's great that I get the notification in the app, but that means that I have to constantly manually open the app to check for notifications - which essentially makes the notifications almost useless.


I've uninstalled and re-installed; I've disable the system setting to give the app access to send system notifications and then re-enabled it; and anything else I could think of that could be stopping the app being able to send a system notification.

Am I doing something wrong here, or does this intentionally only keep the notification internal to the app?

API Error 4 - even with the example Device key

W4MSolutions
Updated at 2025-01-23 17:32:49 UTC 

We are using your API example, where ABCDEFG is the device key.
Using this example, we're getting the following error returned: {"status":"ERROR","meta":{"time":"2025-01-23T10:15:30","tid":"1737627330_uXNP","version":"1.0","token_limit":2000,"token_remaining":1993,"last_active":"2025-01-23T10:15:30","token_reset":"2025-01-24T00:00:00"},"errors":[{"code":4,"message":"Invalid sensor","params":{}}]}, 


It is the same when we use the actual device keys for our Sprite and Whisperers 2.


Could you please help understanding why we're getting the error number 4 "invalid sensor"?

Smart Sprinkler Controlle starts then stops

Nigel Briggs
Updated at 2025-01-10 23:15:31 UTC 

Hi.

My controller operates but many times, rather than executing the time setting. It just cuts out? 

I do have a sensor connected but I took it out of the ground to exclude wet soil feedback 

I'm guessing there is a parameter forcing the stops? 

Could anyone give me a direction where to look? 


Thanks

Netro Spark problem

Russ McEvoy
Updated at 2025-01-11 17:12:27 UTC 
Topic: General

This morning my 16 zone Spark unit was showing a red LED.

The app said it was online but when I tried to manually water a zone, it just said "connecting" for the duration with nothing happening outside.

Our wifi was running as normal and the room with the controller in had a good signal.

Unplugging and plugging back in solved the problem but it doesn't leave me with much confidence of the unit if it's going to do this at a critical time of year without being noticed.

Is there a reliability issue with the latest firmware?

Door came off the unit

The door came off my spark 8 unit.  This made the electronics tape disengage from the base. How do I reattach that tape back into the slot.  I tried by hand but it seems impossible without detaching the motherboard and making more problems

Water transfer during rain

mark spencer
Updated at 2025-03-12 02:34:42 UTC 

Assumption is that rain events need to prevent / skip watering.


I have one requirement that is the opposite where if it has rained more than 5mm, i want to use my watering system to pump water for about 15 minutes from my 100,000 litre water tank to a 12,000 litre holding tank that I use for gravity fed gardens. 


Is there a way?

Zone 1 and Zone 2 are reversed

Fat Cut
Updated at 2024-12-29 07:11:04 UTC 

The two zones on the Netro Stream Smart Indoor Watering System are in reverse. When I select Zone 1 manually on the machine or from the app, the water squirts out from Zone 2. And by selecting Zone 2, the water comes out from Zone 1. Anyone else having the same issue? Is this something I can fix as a DIY, like opening the box and swapping out the two wires?
